The sooner we as a species take steps to turn around our destructive habits, the sooner we reduce the need for "some" of the evacuations. Nature will always be a fickle bitch, but we don't need to continue enraging the situation. I have, which is why I collect all my dead batteries (especially the inflating li-po's) in a plastic tub, inside a steel flame containment can, in an auxiliary building 150ft from my house until I'm ready to take them to the recycling drop off. |

Uhhh, average age of cars on the road is 12 years. They are expecting 5% of vehicles on the road to be new cars by the years end. If everyone bought an EV at 5% per year then it would take 20 years to replace all the cars. In California, the EV mandate is 15 years away, and without a mandate, the adoption rate of EVs won't go to 100% for new car purchases, so expect closer to 30+ years from now for EVs to pass 50% of cars on the road, if that even happens. I would say utilities have some time to ramp up production.

Maybe while people are using their gasoline powered generator to run their house, they also use their generator to charge their car.

I regret I am remiss about energy solutions. I excuse myself by way of mental gymnastics in singular behavioral changes (vasectomy, vegan, bicycling) I see as supporting sustainability. |

Although where the power will come from is a reasonable consideration I will 100% assure everybody that the era of the electric vehicle and the COMPLETE demise of the ICE engine is almost upon us. There is no way it is stopping at this point so they will figure out how to get the power that is needed in a very short period. Most people on this forum will see it in their life time. Like it or not that is the way the industry is headed.

Yea, I've pretty much given in. Actually thought about buying a used Chevy Bolt which has a 250ish mile range and can be had all day long on Carvana for between $15,000 and $20,000 for commuting now that the FRS is approaching 180,000 miles, keeping the FRS as a weekender. I still wouldn't want to travel in an EV over its one way range though, just because of the inconvenience and additional time. It's becoming easier though. My biggest problem is with 5 cars at our house right now I don't have room for a sixth, and I don't have one I'm willing to part with yet.

I just wish the future didn't involve driving small moons around.

There's a couple that would get me to work, but require a charge to get me home. The Honda Clarity is only available in California. The Karma Revero GT, which is expensive but holy hell yes if I could afford it. For it's price though I'd almost rather have the Hummer, or a C8 and a Bolt.

It's taken how many years to come up with a mostly practical, almost mass market personal transportation appliance ? And even then issues remain. Electric semis, combines and dump trucks are going to take even more work and time to become practical for even most applications. Just like steam, ICE will probably still be around for a good, long while. |
